Title: Breakfast cereal
Post by: rbcp on October 22, 2007, 09:39:56 PM
Jammie,
How come all these different breakfast cereals always have one character trying to keep cereal away from another?  Like how Fred is always trying to keep Barney from his Fruity Pebbles and random kids are always telling that rabbit that Trix are for kids.  Why don't these assholes just share their cereal?

Is it just me or is there more and more fat people using canes and power chairs these days? If you're too lazy to exercise and eat better at least WALK un-aided.

Dear Brad,

Generally, people prefer things that are exclusive.  Something is always better if someone else wants it, even better if you can have it and they can't.  Kind of like when I was on the phone with Cal a few years back and he went on about how great this one commercial for this diet pill was... basically they said this diet pill was for really overweight people because it works so well, so they went on and on about if you're not really overweight, it's not for you... which makes everyone who is even a little overweight go, "Wait, why??  I want to lose weight too!  I want it!"  Also the same reason why married guys get hit on more than single guys, mrrrow!

Cordially,
jammie

Well, why didn't Barney just go to the store and buy his own damn Fruity Pebbles?  Him and Fred work at the same place so you know they make approximately the same wages.  And if cost were really an issue, he could get the generic brand for half price.  But I doubt cost was an issue since Barney was always buying those costumes and props to trick Fred.  Nevermind Fred being a complete asshole, but why couldn't Barney just be a man and buy his own?  That'd make a lot more sense that going to all those elaborate means just to trick Fred into giving him some.

How hard would it be for him to just chisel some onto the grocery list and Betty could pick up a few boxes for him?

Barney was suffering through extreme amphetamine psychosis from all the years of doing crystal with his wife and having wild orgies with half the neighbourhood. It was really bad toward the end, actually.

I heard Dino was involved in a few of those orgiies.

Is that a type of bestiality that would have it's own branding? Sex with dinosaurs I mean.

Is that the one that said something like "How do you know it works? It costs 157 dollars a bottle!" That's bloody brilliant marketing, right there.

That site wastes my time. In a good way.
